What are you afraid to show the world?
As we begin the New Year, how can you:
- Feel More Authentic.
- Release the need for other’s approval.
- Embrace your inner succulence.
- Let go of Limiting beliefs.
- Show off your assets with pride.
Over the past few years, it has been quite the journey to stop always being a people-pleaser, to be content with being present and at peace within myself. I was always feeling empty while others were happy. It took me a lot of soul searching to realize that I was using so much energy denying who I was in order to make others happy. At the end of the day, I was completely worn out and wondering when it would be my turn to be happy.
I played the victim and told myself lies such as “when this changes, I will be happy.” or “If only, that would happen, then I will be happy.”
When I finally let go and let life in, I began to notice when I felt content and calm. I was slowly learning how to recognize my own authenticity as I lived a heart centered life, rather than let my head control things. Believe it or not, neuroscience states that there are neural pathways in the heart much like the brain as well as in the gut. When you live a heart centered life, you are tapping into your intrinsic wisdom and values. By aligning your self with your own value compass, you open the door to authenticity.
Little by little as you become mindful of when you feel aligned within your self, your need for others approval will dissipate. Then, get ready for it, you will begin to notice more of your strengths instead of your faults! The things that held you back are now falling away one by one like fall leaves from a tree. That belief structure is not needed anymore. Once you realize you are a pretty cool cucumber, you will not only embrace your inner juiciness, but flaunt it!
Let everyone see the real you this year. Don’t hold back because the world has been waiting for your firecracker spirit to light fire!
